Haugesund Sparebank API Access & Open Banking

Reaching your Haugesund Sparebank account data no longer means wrestling with eIDAS certificates or a bank-specific developer portal. open-banking.io gives you a single, PSD2-compliant path to both business and personal accounts at Haugesund Sparebank, and hands the encryption keys to you rather than keeping them on a server. Whether you want a clean view of your balances or a programmatic feed for your own tooling, the starting point is the same secure dashboard.

How to connect Haugesund Sparebank

Connecting happens entirely inside the open-banking.io dashboard — there is no API call, key, or code involved in this step.

  1. Sign up for open-banking.io and set your encryption passphrase. Your keys are generated locally on your own device, so only you ever hold the private key.
  2. In the dashboard, search for and select Haugesund Sparebank, then choose the account type you need — business or personal.
  3. You are redirected to Haugesund Sparebank's own secure login and consent screen, where you approve access under PSD2. open-banking.io never sees your bank credentials.
  4. Your approved accounts sync straight into your dashboard. Consent lasts up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve on the bank's screen.

Because Haugesund Sparebank publishes no BIC in our reference set, selecting it by name in the dashboard is the reliable way to reach the right institution.

Access your data

Once a connection exists, developers can optionally read it programmatically. On the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json — this bundles the API key together with your private decryption key. From there use the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync), an SDK, or the REST API directly. Requests authenticate with the X-Api-Key header, and every response is decrypted locally with your own key. The CLI and SDK only read and sync connections you already made in the dashboard — they cannot create one.

This is the heart of the zero-knowledge, certificate-free design: open-banking.io servers hold only your public key, so an API key alone returns ciphertext without your private key to unlock it. Access to 2,600+ EU/UK banks runs at roughly EUR 3/month.
